That's a fairly esoteric need. I wish I was allowed to ask why :)
I'd be tempted to refuse to have a separate acl option for each
possible SMTP command, but to have only one which was passed the
command line (now that ACLs can take arguments, it doesn't even
need a global).
Perhaps the TCP connect and the TLS verify could also be regarded
as events also for such a callback. I'm having a hard time
guessing when you'd ever want the TCP connect one though.
I do think we need some better justification for the facility.
Perhaps an Experimental build feature.
